Sajjad Ahmad is the founder of GetCoreTech, a technology publication built on one rule: report what the documents show, not what the announcement says. He writes most of its articles, covering AI agents, cybersecurity, tech business, cloud, developer tools and more.
His approach is research-first. Before writing, he goes to the primary source: the SEC filing, the CVE record, the vendor’s changelog, the regulator’s text, the study itself. Every number in a GetCoreTech article carries who measured it, how and when, and every claim links to a source the reader can open.
GetCoreTech is written for people with a decision to make: developers, founders, CTOs and security leads who have limited time and want the evidence stated plainly.
